@@loganpinner5212I remember watching 9/11 live on TV in history class 7th grade. When the buildings collapsed the room was absolutely silent, with a few kids crying. That day literally divided my memory of pre 9/11 and post 9/11, and the differences between those two is huge.
Not possible... you're forgetting, after impact, a lot of the internal doors were jammed shut..as like out of alignment. The building itself swayed quite some distance after the collision & structures became warped. So I'm thinking the precise mechanisms that allow the gantry to move down the building would have been warped at some stage, thus jamming the gantry altogether. Just my thoughts...
Random tangent, but based off another video ginger did, similar would have happened if the Titanic hit the iceberg head on, it would have probably misaligned the watertight doors, and still wouldn't have survived.
That’s what I thought too. In many photos you can literally see outer parts of the steel column jutting out… the track that the window washers run on probably would not have been intact.
A video about Edna Cintron the women that was pictured standing on the broken beams in the impact zone of the north tower would be interesting, its crazy to imagine how she must have felt looking down standing right on the edge, waving for help.
One of the biggest problems is the jumpers. Even if you got down to the 9th floor, there are dozens of people above you jumping from higher floors becoming falling projectiles. I know of at least one person (a firefighter) who was struck and killed by a jumper.
There’s a video taken from the perspective of rescue helicopter on 9/11. They got close to the rooftop of the towers but they couldn’t see anyone (obviously the doors to the roof were locked, too) and there was far too much smoke, it wouldn’t have been safe or possible to make the attempt.
I hate how they PROBABLY assumed they had more time. A collapse was not certain, either, but the time to a collapse was presumed by all the emergency services to be something longer than this.
You don't need to get to the ground floor, just under the main fires, have something to break a window and then get down from the inside. Not sure how fast those window washers move though but since it's not taking you to ground level and the odds of firefighters being able to rescue you from the 9th floor with all the debris and once the south tower collapsed, nobody was going to take a chance of getting crushed.
No you couldnt escape. For one, youre on the inside of the towers so you dont where the holes in the outer walls are in. Then the smoke would be totally unbearable. Then the electricity to power the window washing machine would probably be compromised. It was just an unfortunate situation that caught thousands of people off guard
Not to mention weight limits, there's hundreds trapped but only a few people can fit on the window washer. And im sure if you packed too many people on it, would break and fall.
That window washing machine groove is interesting. I was thinkin that suitable tools someone could rapel down and slow the speed. But doesn't help much if you still have 9floors left when the groove ends.
I think this would be the biggest problem, assuming it's all electrical, without any sort of hydraulic operation or being able to release the ropes or secondary power source on the roof, you're pretty much stuck there sadly
@@user-oh7gd7ky8s Yes probably there was, who knows, it would be useless now that we know no one made it there. In my comment I missed a comma after electrical, I meant if you didn't have any of these listed things you're dead up there
A parachute would not worked either. There were well over 800 people trapped in both building. Can you imagine 800 plus people trying to use a parachute while panicking. Their parachutes would have got entangled. They would have smashed into the other building. Also you have to be properly trained to use a parachute. That mean the CEO of each company would have had to pay to get every employee trained, and also purchase the parachute. That could have banked rupt a company because the training, and the product itself is expensive. The only thing that could have saved those people would have been the staircase. They where in the center in the building. If they where located in the 4 corners of the building they probably would have been have able to go down.
@@DyspotikOriginal Not that low, especially if there was someone with pilot training on board, or if one of the two pilots could have been revived. I would say very low indeed, but not infinitesimal. Which reminds me of another question, what are the odds of any of the truth movement scenarios being true?
@@DyspotikOriginalThere was a passenger with 8 years ATC training and a single engine small plane pilot, there was a chance actually. If you managed to get the plane out of the dive and assuming the hull or components aren't too damaged by the sheer force of the dive, you'd get instructions from ATC on how to safely land etc.
and also the structure of the building on like 2 floors is pretty much gone so idk how the window washer thing is supposed to get past that if the wall has a gape in it.
When I was rebuilding widows on the world..after the first bombing...there was a robot that fit on tracks and washed the windows,we saw bubbles and the robot came by....I asked about it and was told and they would have to bring it back up to the roof and move it over to the next track
how tall are the tridents? i think they are low enough at that point maybe people could jump on a net or like you said a ladder. how many people could fit on the window washers? it's sad over 20 years later we still don't have any technology that would've helped if it happened today.
7:40 I somehow don't understand the logic behind going up...If I wasn't afraid that they might collapse, I would potentially think that there is enough time to go down and wait for the firefighters with ladders... (because even if it stops at the 9th floor there is at least no smoke or fire...and it would be much closer to possible rescue equipment than on top of the building). Especially if the window washer was already below the impact zone.
Imagine coming down and the south tower got hit by the plane and the fireball came right at you. There was a guy in the plaza that got hit by debris from the north tower and couldn’t move. You see him sitting down in the photos after the north tower was hit but before the south tower. Then in the photos after the south tower was hit there was piles of debris piled up right where he was sitting. Imagine sitting there unable to move and nobody dares come and help you because the jumpers are falling all around you. Then the South tower gets hit and you see the debris flying right at you. Then it ends.
Ik this may be a little disturbing but could you make a video talking about the corpses after 9/11. Like what happened to them? Because there are some people who don’t know what happened
Well, the building also "torqued" by the impact; It just takes one of the tracks to be slightly misaligned and the mechanism would not get past that point. If you look at the photographs the entire skin was disrupted all around the tower, even if it had not blown out the walls yet. With the jumpers, imagine how bad the situation would be on the ground. Do you think that firefighters are going to have time to set up either a ladder or a air bag when you have 150-200 pound human bodies exploding like bombs next to you. If you read the transcripts from the firefighters there are many details given of how firefighters and rescuers were killed by jumpers. It was not a one-off thing, they were coming down constantly.
I’m impressed with how you keep up with current nfl news but you also branch out into stuff like this and the one Soviet Union building. Keep it up, exploring different topics
So what would be the best way to escape if you were trapped above the crash site? Assume no outside help available like helicopters etc. Also assume only basic office equipment available. What would MacGyver do?
I assume that even if they got up there, I'm sure that window washing platform isn't easy to get it set up. And then considering that the towers collapsed. Just unfeasible.
Exactly, I don't know the weight limit on those but I assume everyone would try to pack onto, possibly leading to fall. And imagine if you were on that and Tower 2 started to collapse!
I appreciate your videos. I was 20 when this happened and I watched a good bit of it live on TV, but it wasn't until You Tube and high speed internet entered my life many years later that I was able to fully grasp what happened that day. There are so many what if's, but the thing is, the average person had no idea those buildings would collapse so quickly. I'm sure a few engineers did know, but getting information to the masses had to be filtered though regular news media and unfortunately instead of focusing on getting important information out (e.g. there is one stairwell in tower 2 that is clear enough to get down) they were more interested in trying to figure out who saw what and what's happening right now. Nothing against the reporters - they were in just as much shock as the rest of us were, and I think people just didn't think on those terms back then. I fully believe that the reason why everyone lived during the "Hudson" plane crash was because of 2001. Those ferry drivers had already jumped in to help evacuate the island just a few years earlier, and this time people were more of the mind-set that you can't just wait for the official people to help - you have to do what you can to help, immediately, because the official rescuers can't always make it on time.
5:58 probably not. 9 floors would be like 100 feet, and most people would die after falling just 50 feet onto concrete. The windows were also enforced so I’d imagine they wouldn’t be easy to break
Can you discuss this scenario: Would you basically be able to escape the north tower by basically grabbing one of the columns with your hands and then glide down as careful as possible just holding on with your palms, one of each side of a column? There are some sections in the middle of the building that i'm a bit unsure of...
Yes. Another could be seen trying to shimmy down the exterior of the building, but unfortunately lost his grip and fell. It was all just sheer desperation that would make anyone try anything to survive, no matter how unrealistic. Those poor people went through a lifetime of pure hell in a matter of minutes.
There was one guy who rolled from the top of the twin tower down to the bottom like a bull . He comes to our bar. He tells us the story. His name is JoeY. He’s from Staten Island.
@@posticusmaximus1739 he should talk about the one plane that was still allowed to fly that day (it was carrying a life-saving antivenom to save a guy who'd been bitten by a snake.)
Theres a video of someone talking about being at Disney world on 9/11 and that everyone left then most drove home as they were scared of using air travel.
Everyone mentions it was mechanical, BUT it had to have a manual override. This is before all of this digital electronic stuff. Everything had a manual override or pulley system. Even if the pully system was slow he only needed to get down below the impact zone to rescue a few people. But if the building was warped it would have to be in a corner where it wasn't warped to lower it down. Most people weren't thinking logically that day so if you had something heavy enough or a glassbreaker he could have broken the glass at the 9th floor. Which is why the men stuck in the elevator were damn lucky a few guys had the idea to break through the wall to the bathroom in less than 1 hour.
The instinct for survival would be go down and be under the flames, if you got to the ninth floor and got through a window you could escape. If I recall correctly, a man climbed the outside of the towers many years ago, someone also did a high wire walk between them in the 1970's, that would be on my mind as a possible escape plan, to use the cladding as a means of going down, my other idea would have been the lift shafts if possible, to slide down the cables to the next shaft level. I simply don't know how it would be for myself because I was safe and watching it on TV as it happened, seeing people jumping and the despair of those trapped above the flames just knowing they were likely to die that day.
I don’t think you still would have survived all 4 sides of the building had damage on the collums so you probably wouldn’t be able to get past that since the window washer machine traveled Down thru the Collums
I'm pretty sure Roko was on the 105th floor of the North tower. He was said to have been trapped with 300+ people and was doing okay when communication was had.
With the impact and explosion I doubt the tracks for the washer survived at the impact zone so while you might be able to reach the impact zone, getting below that most likely would be impossible.
How fast does that thing move. I'm imagining people on the roof panicking because they realize it moves too slowly for everybody to have a chance. ps. Rescue workers have such an instinct that if people were visibly on the roof, they would take any risks to have a chopper
The only thing that could’ve maybe maybe saved your ass on that day if you were in the building, was if you were able to get on the roof, an also happened to have a parachute with you…
I truly think up these types of hypothetical questions about 9/11…. I also wonder if flight 93 was able to breech the cockpit a minute sooner if they could’ve some how regained control and actually land the plane at the closest airport. I don’t know if any passengers on that flight had any experience flying. I’m sure it would be a slim chance.
In news footage I watched of the towers burning I saw what looked like the window washing machine perched right at the corner of the roof on 1 of the towers. Amongst the panic, If anyone had made it to the roof, I doubt anyone would be in any frame of mind to think of that
"Would it have been possible for Philippe Petit to escape from the north tower by tight roping walking across to the south tower and then making his way to the only intact stairwell in that tower?"
I have wondered if they had had an emergency sort of stairwell that connected the Towers, if people from the North Tower could have then been saved that way.
I'm pretty sure that even if you could make it down to the 9th floor via the window washing platform, if you had jumped from that height, even if you survived initially, you would most likely break your legs and die later on, either through trauma and blood loss, if not from falling debris, people jumping, and the collapse of the towers themselves. So no, I'm pretty sure you'd be doomed, either way.
I saw a documentary on CZcams about the World Trade Center attack. People in a conference on the 106 floor of the north tower tried to get out onto the roof, but they couldn’t cause the door was locked.
So, out of thousands of people in the South tower, how many people would you have been able to get on the washer platform? Maybe 7? And in the amount of time they had after the North got hit, if you by chance had 7 people already on the platform, with only 20 minutes before the second plane hit the South tower, I highly doubt you would have made it down very far. No Sir, it would have been quite futile a task.
Why doesn’t depressed ginger make a video about what if there had been parachutes if that would of saved those poor souls above the impact zone that didn’t have a way out whatsoever, the ones that had to jump off the buildings to escape the fire, if parachutes would of worked in saving them.

Anywhere from 200 to 300 people jumped from the north tower
I think the people hanging out of the windows could potentially overcrowd the window washer as well.
Not only that but the washers cart was on a track and the track was no doubt warped and or severed around the entire impact zone.

I don’t think you still would have survived all 4 sides of the building had damage on the collums so you probably wouldn’t be able to get past that since the window washer machine traveled Down thru the Collums
What if the north tower collapsed first?
I'm pretty sure Roko was on the 105th floor of the North tower. He was said to have been trapped with 300+ people and was doing okay when communication was had.
That's what I thought, I wonder 🤔 why there is conflicting information on that ?
I thought he was in the south but I could be wrong
Boy was boutta make the family guy gag real. Oof.
What if the north tower had a translucent roof instead of the antenna?
With the impact and explosion I doubt the tracks for the washer survived at the impact zone so while you might be able to reach the impact zone, getting below that most likely would be impossible.
Id say it's impossible. It would have been very slow to descend.
How fast does that thing move. I'm imagining people on the roof panicking because they realize it moves too slowly for everybody to have a chance.
ps. Rescue workers have such an instinct that if people were visibly on the roof, they would take any risks to have a chopper
one could break the windows under the fire zone to get back in. the main issues would have been power and, as previously mentioned, warped tracks.
Why on that day, those civil defence staffs didn't think of Huge Air bags for those people trapped inside to jump down??
The only thing that could’ve maybe maybe saved your ass on that day if you were in the building, was if you were able to get on the roof, an also happened to have a parachute with you…
Get outta my head I was just thinking this!!!
Genau das habe ich mich auch schon öfter gefragt...
I truly think up these types of hypothetical questions about 9/11…. I also wonder if flight 93 was able to breech the cockpit a minute sooner if they could’ve some how regained control and actually land the plane at the closest airport. I don’t know if any passengers on that flight had any experience flying. I’m sure it would be a slim chance.
In news footage I watched of the towers burning I saw what looked like the window washing machine perched right at the corner of the roof on 1 of the towers. Amongst the panic, If anyone had made it to the roof, I doubt anyone would be in any frame of mind to think of that
"Would it have been possible for Philippe Petit to escape from the north tower by tight roping walking across to the south tower and then making his way to the only intact stairwell in that tower?"
The wire took all night to get hung.
I have wondered if they had had an emergency sort of stairwell that connected the Towers, if people from the North Tower could have then been saved that way.
Hey Ginger, have you thought about covering the Columbine Massacre, adding that to your list of content? I really would like to see it.
It would have been like the scene from "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World "
I'm pretty sure that even if you could make it down to the 9th floor via the window washing platform, if you had jumped from that height, even if you survived initially, you would most likely break your legs and die later on, either through trauma and blood loss, if not from falling debris, people jumping, and the collapse of the towers themselves. So no, I'm pretty sure you'd be doomed, either way.
I saw a documentary on CZcams about the World Trade Center attack. People in a conference on the 106 floor of the north tower tried to get out onto the roof, but they couldn’t cause the door was locked.
Yep. Door was locked. The answer is no
someone said in the comments the doors to the roof on any building are always locked.
@@kite6864 - you could be lucky and find a janitor/maitience person with keys...
Did you seriously have to make the video 9:03, (the same time the South Tower was struck by flight 175)?💀💀💀
Starting at 8:46, every second this video plays, people are dying, until 9:03 when the video ends - (and people are still dying)💀
Day 21 of asking how did you know what time the restaurant on the 107th floor closed… 🧐
They Might have already knew the Time Like how we know what time would the Specific Place Would Closed or Open Like the Wine Shops this that
@@Amosprth bro… that was 23 years ago. He casually knows the restaurants hours of a place that existed 23 years ago... 🧐
Maybe He has a good Memory you know its not hard to Forget Things that easily for some peoples
I keep having dreams where I'm in NYC on 9/11. I don't know why.
So, out of thousands of people in the South tower, how many people would you have been able to get on the washer platform? Maybe 7? And in the amount of time they had after the North got hit, if you by chance had 7 people already on the platform, with only 20 minutes before the second plane hit the South tower, I highly doubt you would have made it down very far. No Sir, it would have been quite futile a task.
The short answer? No! The planes are faster than the window washers....
Power?
3:35 You’ve got your towers confused.
It wasn't available
Und ein. Fensterputzer war es, der am
11. September Menschen gerettet hat....❤
They still wouldn't of got down because the building was damaged the whole exterior on the tops of those buildings were damaged..
Why doesn’t depressed ginger make a video about what if there had been parachutes if that would of saved those poor souls above the impact zone that didn’t have a way out whatsoever, the ones that had to jump off the buildings to escape the fire, if parachutes would of worked in saving them.
It’s like he placing betts on this shit
Imagine if someone was on the window washer when the plane hits. Which actually happened in WTC 7
Never heard that before. Source?
@@_BreakdownI remember hearing an eyewitness account of it, and I think there was a photograph of them on it on 9/11.
RIP WTC window washer
In Memory of Death and Destruction shoved down Humanity's throat Day. #911
Might as well wash the windows on the way down, while you’re at it.
